Summary

Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in young children with refractory rhinosinusitis often leads to persistent disease and requires further intervention. Careful consideration of ESS is recommended for this age group.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Rhinosinusitis Research

Background:

  • Limited data exists on the efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in pediatric patients with refractory rhinosinusitis.
  • Children with persistent rhinosinusitis despite prior ESS present a unique clinical challenge.

Observation:

  • A cohort of 14 children with refractory rhinosinusitis, who had previously undergone ESS, were analyzed.
  • These children underwent their first ESS at a mean age of 4.6 years, with 10 of 14 operated on before 4.8 years.
  • Osteomeatal scarring was identified as a significant surgical complication.

Findings:

  • Children in this cohort required subsequent surgical intervention at a significantly higher rate (50%) compared to the general clinic population (9%).
  • Persistent disease and significant morbidity were observed following ESS in young children.

  • Osteomeatal scarring presented as the most challenging complication.

    • Implications:

    • Endoscopic sinus surgery in very young children with refractory rhinosinusitis is associated with a high rate of persistent disease and complications.
    • While medical management can address some post-ESS chronic rhinosinusitis, judicious use of ESS, particularly in younger children, is advised.
    • Further research is needed to optimize surgical timing and techniques for pediatric rhinosinusitis.
